  1. Write down the sequence of steps you used to find the solution to problem 4.1. Try to use mathematical symbols an no just words to describe your steps.
  2. This is my sequence of steps
195=30+15N
195-30=15N
165=15N
N=165/15
N=11

  1. Make a problem similar to problem 4.1 and solve it using your method from question 1.
My question
Supose you bought a 200 dollar drive from the unlimited store. You used the instalment plan so how long should it take for you to pay fully for the drive

My answer
It will take 12 months for you to pay for the drive.

My work
200=30+15N
200-30=15N
170=15N
N=170/15
N=11.33
